Close-ups tell you who is talking, but a Master Shot tells you how the room is responding. Without a constant, overarching visual context, remote viewers miss the nods, shared glances, and environmental cues that define real collaboration. A close-up without a Master Shot is just a talking head in a vacuum.

It comes down to two critical factors - facial pixel density and spatial perspective.
People Image Clarity: Using any camera, capturing an entire room with a single wide-angle lens (typically 90° field of view) leaves far people blurry and indistinct when they speak and the camera zooms in. Equal-i splits the room into narrow high-density segments of only 30° field of view. For example: an executive seated at the far head of a table receives up to 10x more pixel density on their face compared to standard wide angle capture.
Natural Perspective:  In rooms with long tables, a single center camera distorts the spacing of faces seated along the table sides – far seated people may be partially blocked by those closer to the camera. By separating the left and right cameras by only several feet, Equal-i generates more spatial equity between room participants.

Ironically, it may reduce it. Traditional corporate cameras and video bars equipped with larger sensors and AI features can easily cost $3,000 to $5,000 per room. Because Equal-I offloads the heavy lifting to centralized software processing, you can deploy multiple fixed lens, large sensor studio or streaming cameras for $800 to $1,200 each.

Yes. Equal-i software can live at the processing level of cameras, edge compute devices, or even the rooms host computer running your preferred conferencing platform.

Not at this time. Currently Aura is seeking to License our core patented technology to established camera or computer manufacturers, Conferencing Platforms, or others.
